Overview

About 5 Elmfield Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Elmfield Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Durham (DH1 1DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £204,000 sits 54.5% above the 2014 sale of £132,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 28.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
